Category: <b>General</b><br><br>Fabio Cannavaro says he’s mystified to why former club Juventus were the only outfit to be demoted in the Calciopoli probe.
“I don’t understand why Juventus were the only club to pay when there were several clubs involved in the scandal,” said Cannavaro in an interview with La Repubblica.
“We won the Scudetto on the pitch and I can guarantee that we never had the feeling someone was helping us from the outside,” added the 33-year-old.
“I think that the club is doing the right thing by continuing with their fight for Serie A readmission.
“However, I also see why the FIGC named Inter as last year’s champions as they had to somehow assign the Scudetto.”
The World Cup winner moved to Real Madrid with Emerson after the Bianconeri’s demotion where they joined former Juve Coach Fabio Capello.
However, the Azzurri captain has insisted that he didn’t betray the club by turning his back on them this summer.
“This is a very Italian habit,” he added. “Every time somebody leaves a team they turn into traitors, but I don’t agree.
“I left Juventus because I received an important offer from an important club, where I hope I will end my career at the top.
“Even if I know this may be hard to believe, I would have stayed at Juventus had they remained in Serie A – even with a 30-point deduction.”
Cannavaro is confident that Juventus can still have a good season despite the mass exodus of players and insists he’ll never forget his time in Turin.
“I know that the team is working hard and they are surrounded by enthusiasm,” he noted. “I think they can do well.
“I will always check on the Juventus result, after that of Napoli of course. I spent two wonderful and unforgettable years at Juve.”
Goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon is also confident that Juventus will return to the top level in three or four years, but understands those who chose to set off for another team.
“I hope we will be able to play in Serie A next year, but this is not certain,” said the Azzurri goalkeeper.
